Footnotes

Hello, book lovers! 

Here's a quick look at what I've been doing on the reading front:

Since my last post, I have finished:

"Bunny Bunny" by Alan Zweibel (sweet memories of Gilda Radner)

"Edie: An American Biography" by Jean Stein (re-read from high school)

"Slaves of New York" by Tama Janowitz (underwhelming)*

"The Friday Afternoon Club" by Griffin Dunne (best of the bunch)

"It's Always Something" by Gilda Radner (heartbreaking)

"Shirley, I Jest!" by Cindy Williams (too buttoned-up; Penny Marshall's was way more fun -- natch!)

"Hologram Boyfriends" by Mike Albo (some LOL moments) 

I received a review copy of the beautiful new Pet Shop Boys book "Volume: The Complete Record."

And I am in the process of reading "Helter Skelter" by Curt Gentry and Vincent Bugliosi, which I started in 8th grade(!), and Toni Tennille's memoir.

P.S. Just remembered I'm on Goodreads if you're so inclined. And would love to hear what you're reading in the comments.

*I remember back in the '80s that everyone said the film version of "Slaves of New York" sucked. But I actually thought it was very true to the book -- and at least it had Adam Coleman Howard as Stash. 🔥🔥🔥

Michael Musto's party-scene cameo was called "the film's only moment of credibility" by critic J. Hoberman of the Village Voice, which sounds about right!
